Abstract
Background: The aim of this study was to study the effects of body characteristics on total GFR using Gamma Camera. Methods: The data of this study was collected from 150 patients both gender referred to nuclear medicine department in Radiation and Isotopes Centre -Khartoum (RICK) - Sudan whom underwent renal scintigraphy. Results: The age and weight affected the result of total GFR in an inverse linear relationship therefore the GFR decreased linearly when age and weight increases by 0.087 ml/year and 0.06 ml/Kg respectively, while the increase of height directly increases the total GFR values linearly by 0.14 ml/cm. Conclusions: Body characteristics correlated with the amount of total GFR therefore consideration of it is impact will give an accurate assessment of total GFR.
